C) Wind picks up sand or dry soil and carries it from one place to another.

Rocks are hard and solid, yet they don't remain as such for eternity. Powers like wind and water separate them through the procedures of weathering and disintegration.  

Weathering is the procedure that separates rocks. Numerous things cause this phenomenon, including atmosphere changes. Disintegration separates rocks further and afterward moves them.

Powers like wind and water move the stone pieces. They blend with things like sand to move toward becoming silt. Weathering and disintegration help to shape Earth's surface.
